A Conversation With Minister
Unity on Wheels: A Candid 'Conversation With Minister' Spotlights Wheelchair Basketball
Singapore, 12th October 2023 – The Wheelchair Basketball Association (WBA) of Singapore is buzzing with enthusiasm as it highlights the inclusion of wheelchair basketball in a special episode of "A Conversation With Minister". The article from 8world News, featuring Senior Parliamentary Secretary Mr. Eric Chua's engagement in the sport, shines a light on the diversity and inclusivity at the heart of the WBA community.
The narrative unfolds with Mr. Chua joining forces with the wheelchair basketball veterans for a friendly match, demonstrating the sport’s accessibility and camaraderie. A notable mention in the story is 40-year sport veteran Lee Jia Bao, who brings humor and wisdom to the court, reminding us that resilience is key—every fall is an opportunity to rise stronger.
This episode also casts a spotlight on the volunteerism that bolsters our community. It tells the tale of Jiang Wen Sheng, a 37-year-old who has been playing wheelchair basketball since he was 17. His journey is a profound testament to the impact of volunteer work and its ability to inspire and uplift.
Wheelchair basketball is not just a game in our community; it's a catalyst for confidence and social integration. The WBA is dedicated to promoting an environment where individuals, regardless of their abilities, can engage in sports, foster self-esteem, and build friendships.
As we continue to support and grow our sports community, we invite everyone to join in and be a part of our story. Your participation, whether as players, volunteers, or supporters, is what propels us forward.
